Director Biography - Stephanie Weiss

Environmental engineer from Cochabamba, Bolivia. During her time in Amsterdam on the Latin American Master program, she came up with the bizarre idea of bending the laws of social studies by combining cultural and natural resources in one topic, chicken. Her master thesis about the chicken phenomenon in Bolivia is adapted to the Peruvian case and becomes a basis for this short mockumentary.
